I have an area on my NAS for ALL my source images, as they come out of the camera. I then have another area where I work using copies, each image I work on I keep a text file including things like equipment used. dates/times, images list etc. If my processing of data to an image generates master dark, flat, bias frames I have a folder just for these to go in. I store with filenames that start with "DARK", then the camera, focal length, ISO, exposure time then datestamp. So that way they naturally group for me to easily find masters to use if i want to reprocess data in the future or am working my way through my back catalogue of photos before I got into astrophotography and find i have later frames taken with same camera/settings combination. Most of my AP is camera /photo based not video sources. Still with videos I've done I end up dumping the frames out and process from there.
